They were dumb enough to sart him last week...

Calvin Nitzel

I believe we are too stubborn to switch to LS and will play CP until he throws 2 picks.

Logan Smothers

James Stiver

He is the better QB of the two. Logan can atleast use his speed in certain situations. Don't think it will really matter this week but praying for the upset. GBR

Rick Machacek

We need a change up. Running options, screens and misdirection. That's Logan.

Robert Lloyd

I would fire Whipple if the starting QB today doesn't go to Logan. Oh heck, I'd fire Whipple anyway.

Andy Fields

It's his turn, Chubba had his chances.

William Snesrud

He has stuck it out for three seasons and has true game experience, plus he is a better runner with knowledge of running a true option play.....more accurate thrower as well...

RJ Heinen

He deserves a chance

Chris Koch

I thought his performance last year vs Iowa was very impressive. Purdy seems overwhelmed at times and makes bad decisions.

VAHuskerFan

Logan is definitely our best option, but it’s gonna be embarrassing no matter who plays, but Logan is better

Perry Carnes

He has more experience. Did better than Purdy against Minnesota.

Bill Blatchford

Best option to throw and run!!

Larry Smith

Will it really matter?

Ruthie Patterson

He Is The Best Answer Now

Doug Einsel

better performance last game.

Glenn Suzuki

Not an outstanding player, but steady and reliable. Deserve the start on Saturday.

Brad Bredenkamp

Huskers have to have a legit run threat at QB

Jon Petersen

Chubba is an interception machine. Smothers has generally played well when given the opportunity--like last year against Iowa.

James Key

need to run a bit!

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
